Good morning everyone. We had an incident over the weekend. Some type of glitch in the building power. Most of the UPS's were fine, one of them wasn't (It's dead). One of our DL360 G9 servers was connected to it and is no longer functional. VMware shifted everything to the other servers, so we're OK, but this server is getting a buffer failure when I try to boot it. I've powered down and disconnected everything, pulled the internal SD boot card and reconnected all. I am still getting this failure:
Loading /b.b00
Loading /jumpstrt.gz
Loading /useropts.gz
Loading /features.gz
Loading /k.b00
Loading /chardevs.b00
Loading /user.b00
Error 6 (Buffer too small) while decompressing data

Compressed MD5: dae04443fe4fd8d247dc727d0c9f83
Decompressed MD5: (about a thousand 0’s)
Fatal error: 6 (Buffer too small)
Internal diagnostics say everything is fine, and it's obviously seeing the card. I'm ASSUMING the VMware files got corrupted, but before I pull the files from the card and get hold of VMware, does anyone have any suggestions? BTW, this is a standard HP 8GB SD card and, as far as I know, VMware 6.7 sends all of it's log files to the local SCSI drive that is now mandatory.
Thanks,
Nick Ferraro
